| Paradigm Speakers @audiotroy so what relevance to this thread is your screed about class D amps? I think you've posted in the wrong place. And if you think we can't hear you - shouting isn't going to win you any friends. Finally the self important rambling about ho... | |
| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog Much as I also like the Maazel you really do need to check out Paavo Berglund and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on EMI. The original single disc issues are the best available although a little pricy as a set. The Greensleeve reissues are read... | |
| New Audioquest cables equivalent to Audioquest to the old ones @mulveling WEL was originally known as "Horizon". Same conductors and geometry but a navy blue braid. Maybe someone else had rights on that name because it got changed to WEL within a year or so of release | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @shadorne seems you have really never listened to a digital rig that can resolve the differences in cables. The reality is actually that cables are in some cases the limiting factor in current top end digital reproduction. My current digital rig i... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @mains -- the paragraphs and punctation really help! The last post is so much easier to read, thanks for doing that -- you'll also get better responses so keep it up | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @toddverrone the classic mass on spring approaches (or active variants on same) are totally applicable to audio. Every component in your system down to the cables reacts to vibration and finding ways to reduce these vibrations will reduce the nois... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @toddverrone. You ask about what to expect from spring isolating your speakers if on a concrete slab? This is exactly the situation I am in, albeit the ground here in NW Portland is quite soft and transmits seismic vibration all too well. Isolatin... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @toddverrone how unstable? It depends what your speakers weigh. Mine weigh nearly 300lb so it's going to take some force to move them even though they freely wobble a couple of cm from side to side on the spring base. Actually as they're no longer... | |
| My Audio Research experience A blown tube taking out on of its resistors is not uncommon. For many years I owned a pair of AirTight ATM-2s setup for mono. These drive the tubes really hard and would blow all the time (usually when I wanted to show the system off 😏) taking out... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? @mains before laying out for the seismic platforms you owe it to yourself to investigate a superior solution, an active isolation base such as those from Herzan. Obviously rather expensive but if you are really committed to addressing low frequenc... | |
| Taralabs cables @sts -- this is information from 2004, how exactly is that relevant to now 13 years later? And to your question unless you have a break down of "cables, price lists, stickers, documents, and computers" the statistic you ask us to compute is meanin... | |
| Tile floor! Help! I'd start with what @gs5556 suggests especially as you want to deal with the floor reflections as well (you also need rugs between the speakers and your listening position)However in addition you can also try decoupling the speakers from your floo... | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo LE vs CTS Quick vote of confidence in the WEL/LE combo you are proposing. I find it works very well for me -- and as I have a 12M length of WEL running between my preamp and power amps it's hard to financially countenance changing it out 😏I am toying with e... | |
| Tune of the Day @reubent Joni Mitchell, track two side two on Blue | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I really hope that you can refute my finding ... then I can sell my Triplanar without any guiltsurely you want your findings to be confirmed? Otherwise it is clear your particular Triplanar is defective and hence unsaleable?FWIW I was a long time... |
